A6 Block
A6 Waterpump
Y8 Head
Y8 Timing Belt


would the timing be off with this setup? is an adj cam gear needed? LMK asap. car is not starting

 

No cam gear is needed if you are using the cam gear that matches the cam. BTW, are you using the Y8 tensioner as well for the timing belt?

 

Im still using the stock Y8 cam gear with the stock A6 botom end. Timing stays off a bit and I burn more oil, but it works as the DD.

Can we have more info?

year make model, ecu, and a better explanation of the issue other than the car doesnt start?

no clue of what cam is in there, but i believe its stock and its also a Y8 cam gear. i'm also using the tensioner that came with the swap when i bought it and replaced the belt.

92 Honda Civic, P28, P30. try to start the car, but wont sound. sounds like it wants to but it just keep cranking.

 

Try checking your spark plug order off the dizzy. Make sure your fuel injectors are spraying.

i believe they are spraying because i took it off to clean them and they was wet

 

Are you using the Y8 ob2 dizzy or your stock one? Might want to check your wiring. Also sounds dumb but have somone give you a jump. Wouldnt belive how often that little *** car battery wont turn over the engine...

which 2pin goes to the FITV and the peice on the right by the TB?

red yellow/black
yellow black/blue


using a Z6 dizzy at the moment. i would jump start it, but then i wouldnt be able to get back up my hill to the garage

 

what ecu?? you need a obd1 ecu with the obd1 dizzy you can use an a6one with the pm6 ecu though ..ohh my bad you are aware of it good luck

 

you need an adjustable cam gear to get timing perfect, requires -4.5 degrees for the Y head on any other block because of the offset of the Y cam and sprocket keyway.

this may not be the problem but figured i would let you know. also, check for spark, you never said if you did or not.

would that be retard or advance? I have the same setup. d16a6 block with d16y8 head. I used the y8 belt and I have an adj. cam gear. Right now I have it set 4degrees advanced. It runs strong down low but is lacking above 5k but that might be because I don't have vtec hooked up yet.

sorry, if you use the A6 gear it will be perfect. using the y8 cam gear will retard it 4.5 degrees.
